	be sorted by the order the features are used in the 'morx' table's chains.
	WorldText works if you do this. -->
	Mac の文書は、&lsquo;feat&rsquo;テーブルは機能 ID 順にソートされていなければならないと主張します。しかし、その通りにすると WorldText はそれらの機能を検出することができません。どの Apple フォントでも、機能が&lsquo;morx&rsquo;テーブルの連鎖で使用される順番に従ってソートされているようです。その通りにすると WorldText は動作します。

      <LI>
<!--	My old approach to hint substitution caused problems with multiple master
	fonts. So now I keep track of which points are substitution points and what
	the hint masks are at those points. There is a new command which will
	automatically figure out these points, and the user may control them directly
	through Point Info (Element-&gt;Get Info). At the same time I figured I might
	as well do the same thing for counter masks, so FontForge will read counter
	masks in from otf file (I did not implement this for type1s), there is a
	new command to try and make a guess as to what they should be, and the user
	may control them directly through Element-&gt;Char Info. (new scripting commands,
	SubstitutionPoints() and AutoCounter() do the obvious). -->
	ヒント置換に関する私の以前のアプローチは、マルチプルマスターフォントで問題を引き起こしていました。そういうわけで、どの点が置換点で、その点にはどのヒントマスクがあるのかを記録しておくように変更しました。それらの点を自動的に検出する新しいコマンドを追加したので、ユーザが点の情報ダイアログ (エレメント→情報を得る) でそれを直接制御できるようになりました。それと同時に、同様の事がカウンタマスクに対しても可能になるようにする必要がある事に気づいたので、FontForeg はカウンタマスクを OTF ファイルから読み込みます (Type1 に対してはこれを実装していません)。新しいコマンドは、正しい値について推測を行い、ユーザはそれをエレメント→グリフ情報で直接編集できます (新しいスクリプトコマンド SubstitutionPoints() と AutoCounter() はその名のとおりの処理を行います)。
      <LI>
<!--	Added a Hints-&gt;Don't AutoHint command to mark a character as having hints
	the user likes which should not be modified until the user explicitly calls
	AutoHint(). (and a matching scripting command). -->
	ある文字がユーザの思い通りのヒントを含んでいて、ユーザが自分で AutoHint() を呼ぶまでは更新してはならないことを表す ヒント(H)→自動ヒントを停止(D) コマンド (と、それに対応するスクリプトコマンド) を追加。
      <LI>
<!--	Added ability to control whether a PostScript font (type1&amp;type2) is output
	with rounding. -->
	PostScript フォント (Type1 と Type2) を出力時に座標を丸めるかを制御する機能を追加。
      <LI>
<!--	FontForge could generate a bad 'post' table for bitmap only fonts. -->
	FontForge は、ビットマップのみのフォントに対し、壊れた&lsquo;post&rsquo;テーブルを出力する可能性がありました。
      <LI>
<!--	FontForge didn't allow you to create two pairwise positioning items with
	the same tag. -->
	FontForge では、同じタグを含むペア単位の位置指定を 2 つ作成することができませんでした。
      <LI>
<!--	Hungarian names for mac features and for some standard names like "Bold",
	etc. provided by Laszlo Karoly. -->
	Mac の機能名と“Bold”などのいくつかの標準的な名称のハンガリー語訳を追加。Laszlo Karoly の提供。
      <LI>
<!--	Pierre HANSER noticed that if FontForge mapped a single glyph to two encodings
	then bitmap generation through freetype got confused. -->
	FontForge が 1 個の文字に 2 つのエンコーディングを対応させているとき、FreeType を用いたビットマップ生成が混乱を来していることに Pierre HANSER が気づきました。
      <LI>
<!--	If a font contained a non-.notdef character at encoding 0, then generating
	an opentype font from it had a fair chance of crashing. -->
	フォントのエンコーディング 0 に .notdef 以外の文字が含まれていると、それから OpenType フォントを生成した時にかなりの高率でクラッシュしていました。
      <LI>
<!--	Added a couple of new select menu items: Select-&gt;Contours, Select-&gt;First
	Point, Next Contour -->
	選択に関するメニュー項目を 2 個追加: 選択(S)→輪郭全体(C)、選択→最初の端点(F), 次の端点(N)。
      <LI>
<!--	Added a new sub-menu to allow ordering contours within a glyph. This is almost
	totally useless (the final look of the character should not be affected by
	the order in which the contours are drawn), but for multiple master fonts,
	the contour list must have the same ordering in corresponding glyphs. -->
	文字内の輪郭の順序を設定することができるサブメニューを追加。これはほとんど無意味 (最終的な文字の表示は、それを構成する輪郭をどの順序で描画したかには影響されないはず) ですが、マルチプルマスターフォントにおいては、対応するグリフ内では輪郭リストの順序が同じでなければなりません。

<!--	The mac's interpretation of the CFF spec is very picky, but correct. If a
	font contained no references then FontForge would generate an empty subroutine

	empty one. (Strangely, global subroutines have the reverse requirement. Stupid).
	Now if there are no references, then FontForge will not generate a local
	subroutine index. -->
	Mac は、CFF の仕様を非常に厳格に、しかし正しく解釈しています。フォントが参照を含まない場合、FontForge は空のサブルーチンインデックスを出力していました。これは間違いでした。空のサブルーチンインデックスを書き出すのではなく、一切書き出さないのが正しいのです (奇妙なことに、グローバルサブルーチンはその反対でなければなりません。腐ってますねえ)。参照が存在しない場合、ローカルサブルーチンを出力しないように FontForge を変更しました。

	of 'read "f" waiting for "l"' would see that it didn't get an "l" and revert
	back to the initial state. It should instead have checked to see if "s" could
	start a ligature in its own right, and if so jump to the 'got "s" waiting

	Initial version of <I><A HREF="acorn2sfd.html">acorn2sfd</A></I> -- a program
	to convert Acorn RISC/OS font directories into sfd files.
      <LI>
	If a font is loaded from a ttf file, then it will have both postscript and
	ttf versions of certain names stored (family, copyright, version, etc.).
	The postscript names are obviously displayed, but changing them would not
	change the ttf versions. So generating a ttf font and then looking at it
	would still show the old setting of the name. The two should be better
	synchronized now.

	Introduced a crash yesterday if a postscript font contained an name in an
	encoding vector which was not defined in the font. 
	  <HR>
      <LI>
	More work on duplicate names. I no longer append a ".&lt;number&gt;" to the
	end of duplicate entries and when generating fonts I remove them and generate
	an encoding with has multiple references to the base glyph. Which is what
	I should have been doing.
      <LI>
	Small improvements to the style name detector.
      <LI>
	If the Width field was a null string, then reading it from an sfd file caused

	Various small bugs in build accented characters
      <LI>
	On the mac the filenames for mac resource fonts are different from same fonts
	elsewhere (elsewhere they have an additional ".bin"). Made either extension
	work from a script file (so they can work cross platform).
      <LI>
	Expand Stroke had problems with curved splines where the slope at one of
	the end-points was 0/0. Since this will happen by default when joining a
	corner point to a curved point this should have been a frequent occurrence.
      <LI>
	Bug in generating 'post' table if glyph 0 existed but was not .notdef.
      <LI>
	Postscript fonts with one glyph going to multiple encodings cause problems.
      <LI>
	Now both PS and TTF load will have consistent names in the above case.
      <LI>
	My presumption of how symbol encodings were stored under MicroSoft was wrong.
	It is not a one byte encoding, it is a map into the private/corporate use
	area of unicode. 0xf000-0xf0ff. Changed to deal with that.
      <LI>
	Loading a font with mac roman encoding often generated a font of 65536 characters
	(rather than 256+a few extras). Fixed.
      <LI>
	New version of autowidth/kern. I don't think it kerns serifed fonts well,

	the fontview could get confused about matching short names with periods in

	    You can specify that the x or y distance between two points should never
	    vanish (this is called Minimum Distance)<BR>
	    (note: each hint implies one of these going from one side of the hint to
	    the other, also there is an implied one of these between any two non-overlapping
	    hints)<BR>
	    You can also specify that the distance between a point and the width should
	    never vanish. This means that there will always be at least one pixel between
	    that point and the advance width of the character.

      <LI>
	Added a force encoding flag to the Font Info dlg. This is for those cases
	where FontForge reads in a font but can't figure out what the proper encoding

	what Apple does. So I've changed my ttf output routine always to set bit
	12 in the composite flags. And the read in does something if it gets the

      <LI>
	The Font View now displays info on the current character
      <LI>
	Selecting by dragging out a rectangle in the character outline view would
	sometimes miss points. I think that's fixed.
      <LI>
	Doing a multi-character copy in the fontview would remove non-existent characters
	from the copy set. They are no longer removed.
      <LI>
	Build Accented character would always use a dotlessi when building an character
	based on an "i". This behavior is only correct if the accent added is above
	the letter. Adding an ogonek for example should retain the dot. This is now
	fixed. (In theory the same problem could occur for j, but I don't think there
	are any cases where it does).
      <LI>
	When generating a type1 font FontForge will detect whether Flex hints can
	be used and use them if appropriate.
      <LI>
	There was a bug in the routine that read in flex hints. It would leave behind
	6 extra points not on any path in most characters with a flex hint. These
	points were not harmful, but they should not have been there.
      <LI>
	I found some cases where autohint picked the wrong hints. I cleaned them
	up. I hope I haven't broken others...
      <LI>
	Fixed another clipping problem.
      <LI>
	(Various experiments with instructing truetype have yielded no display
	improvement)

	FontForge no longer crashes on high-end systems where the default visual
	has a smaller depth than the maximum the screen supports.
      <LI>
	FontForge no longer crashes on systems with no bitmap unicode fonts installed.
      <LI>
	When FontForge reads in a Type1 font it will preserve the original character
	strings (the type1 strings that define the glyph shape) and will write them
	out again when you save the font. If you modify a character (even something
	innocuous like setting the width) the string for that character will be lost.
	This means that any characters you do not modify will retain flex hints and
	hint substitution. (the Subrs and OtherSubrs arrays are also preserved).
      <LI>
	There is now a way to edit the entries in the Private dictionary (well most
	of them. No way to edit the Subrs entry). The program will guess at good
	values for some entries (like StdHW or BlueValues). If there is no BlueValues
	entry present when a type1 font is generated then the program will guess
	at good values (and will also guess at values for OtherBlues), otherwise
	it will use the one supplied. Similarly for StdHW and StdVW (if StdHW is
	absent then the program will guess at SnapStemH too, similarly for SnapStemV).
	If UniqueID is present in the Private dictionary then that value will be
	used in the font dictionary, if no UniqueID is present then the program will
	generate a random number in the allowed range.

      <LI>
	Removed a number of warnings from the code
      <LI>
	Made arrow keys functional in the fontview
